I slapped my ex once because he grabbed my crotch in public, after we had only been dating for maybe a month, and I didn't know what else to do. I never slapped him again, and I would never slap my very sweet and respectful current boyfriend. It seems like quite a few people in these comments have been in casually…
usually when I don't care about a person, I avoid all articles written about them, which is why I know nothing about what's going on in Miley Cyrus's life. Also, I think women need to stop labeling other women a disgrace to our gender. She does not represent me and anyone who says so is an ignorant asshole. We…
Also at 3:09, when parody is stripped away, leaving the "real, genuine" dancers, those people are overwhelmingly white. smdh.
Yes, because it is to underscore that the other sites didn't deal with it. This was targeted at us. Because we are a women's interest website.
Yes! Thanks so much, team!
Sincere thanks to the tech and product people — both New Yorkers and Hungarians — for working tirelessly and staying up until the wee hours to deal with this. Köszönöm.
I hope this brings you smiles.
Awful, terrble news. He struggled with depression & addiction for years. More proof that mental illness does not discriminate. He had the world's adoration, a loving family & resources far beyond what the average person has and still lost the battle. I hope that someday we treat mental illness as the devastating thing…
It's terrible to hear that commenters could potentially be fired for looking at the website due to the GIFs. While I try to be active in comments (and honestly, that's one of my favorite parts of the job), it makes me anxious to think that people could get in trouble because I am writing and sourcing links instead of…
Cosigned. Hell, I like promoting good comments, dismissing outright nonsense, trading stories with commenters, even the occasional infuriating flamewar adds a little spice to the blogging routine. But it's just disheartening when we have to drop everything—the writing, the searching for new stories, the workaday Kinja…
To me, it seems this is really indicative of the way in which it's so much harder to exist as a woman on the Internet — women have to deal with so much shit, and so much of the stuff done to ~make the 'net free for everyone~ doesn't take that fact into account at all. There was an op-ed in the Guardian about that this…
I just want to write dude, not dismiss bloody rape gif trolls every day. It is the worst part of our jobs to hear from commenters that they can't discuss, say, a teen girl being great at Little League without some person boasting a burner account using the collective comment thread as a chance to harass people.
Working at Gawker Media is a dream job for many of the women on staff here at Jezebel. This is a place that takes…
It honestly breaks my heart a little bit that this post even needs to exist — but the manner in which this has been handled (or not handled, really) by HQ is pathetic. Not reporting on it feels hypocritical, so here we are.
The last thing I want to do is give this giant and troubling waste of our goddamn time the acknowledgment that is clearly so desperately craved. But the fact that I must suppress my pride and bring attention to this in a plea for support from my own employer makes it all the more ridiculous.
This is interesting, because MRA's talk about how "lucky" women are that we're not expected to do anything but lay around the house and raise children. Then there are these old-guard guys who are incapable of regarding being a stay at home parent as anything but a "prison". Good to know!
I'm a stay-at-home husband and proud of it! I'm not really made for working a 9-5 (mental health issues) and my partner makes more than enough for both of us. I keep the house clean, I cook, I do the running around, and I get to lounge around and read. If my partner and I ever wanted kids (gross) I would clearly and…
I've gotta disagree, unless you're limiting you're "we" and "us" to people who have zero risk factors for skin cancer. I've never had a serious burn as an adult, wear a moisturizer with spf15 every morning and had a basal cell carcinoma. It's not just for people baking in the sun for hours, it's for everyone.
